I know how you feel bud. I tend to find myself being rather reclusive. Work being the main cause of this, but I also don't find myself connecting with the people around me which causes me to not want to take the effort to get to know new people or interact much with the ones I know.
I understand completely, for I am similar. It has taken years to get control and sometimes I kinda loose it, but mostly I manage.
With FC, when you need a break, just take it. Make an excuse, smile and then leave. You have to take a potty break, oh you forgot that important thing, need a breather, etc. Most people will be very understanding. Then, take your ten-fifteen minutes and take a break. Or longer if you need it.
Awww well thank you :) I don't want to go so far as to say I'm introverted, just that I feel that way time to time. You have good advice though - because it's the guilt from feeling introverted that really messes with me. Taking a break during stressful times and not feeling bad about it is a very very good start.
I am similiar to a lesser extent. When someone comes to visit me, intially I'm really excited and thrilled, but after a few days I find myself yearning private space and the ability to sit with my laptop and not have to do or say anything to entertain someone.
Other times I'll just feel like staying in my room when people are over, unless they're specifically there to see me personally, and sometimes when it's late and I get tired I will just start feeling very anti-social if my mood is on the borderline.
You strike me as the kind of person I could see moving to a remote cabin in Montana and never being heard from again, though. You can be social but you certainly don't seem to need it at all, so long as you have someone in a fursuit to cuddle up with regularly.
I used to be that independent... some days I wish I still was and other days I'm glad I'm not.
Hmmmmm...as someone who is closer to me that most people, I find that an interesting perspective. I don't really see myself as independent, heck I worry that I'm attached to Mike's hip too often

Don't be ashamed, it's hard being introverted. :)
